The Language of Climate Action: 10 Words We Need Now

From climate change negotiations in Bonn and Azerbaijan in 2024, Climate Words and UN's Youth4Capacity break down 10 key words and why we need them.

The Language of Climate Action: 10 Words We Need Now is a collaborative series between Youth4Capacity and Climate Words.
A total of 10 words will be added throughout the duration of the series.

  1. Nationally Determined Contribution
  2. Just Transition
  3. Nature-Based Solutions
  4. Gender Responsiveness
  5. Loss & Damage

Merging the strengths of Youth4Capacity’s network with Climate Words’ innovative approach to climate literacy, this collaboration brings the stories and perspectives of young climate leaders to life.

The project is dedicated to simplifying complex climate terminology through a dynamic live dictionary of engaging micro-documentaries and social media shorts. By boosting climate literacy and amplifying youth voices, this effort seeks to empower young leaders to influence climate policy and action.
